1. Spark plug wrench
Inspection
The spark plug is an important engine compo-
nent and is easy to inspect. The condition of
the spark plug can indicate the condition of
the engine.
The ideal color of the porcelain insulator
around the center electrode is a medium-to-
light tan for a vehicle that is being ridden nor-
mally.
You should periodically remove and inspect
the spark plug because heat and deposits will
cause the spark plug to slowly break down
and erode. If electrode erosion becomes ex-
cessive, or if carbon and other deposits are
excessive, you should replace the spark plug
with the specified plug.

Valve clearanceThe correct valve clearance changes with
use, resulting in improper fuel/air supply or
engine noise. To prevent this, the valve clear-
ance must be adjusted regularly. This adjust-
ment however, should be left to a professional
Yamaha service technician.
